My Mother: The Person and the Patient

Episode 5: Caregiver Conundrum


Listen Later

Trigger Warning: This episode contains the loss of a child and the grief that followed.
In the first half of this episode,  I share the challenges I face in trying to find a caregiver for my mother during the day while I went to work.  My attempt to find someone that spoke her language in a city where there is not a large Somali community was very difficult at best and impossible at worst. 
In the second half of the episode I share my mother's story after the remains of her baby brother was found. Getting justice for her was difficult at best and impossible at worst.
